Following rigorous cancer treatment, individuals and caregivers must fully commit to health restoration. While recovering from the disease, elders will likely experience fatigue, pain, swelling, dental problems, nausea, weight changes, or bowel and bladder issues as the aftermath of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Due to the fragility of seniors’ health, caregivers are especially attentive towards their individuals’ needs and wellness changes over time. Maintaining everyday household responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking and laundry; providing a healthy and low-fat diet; calming exercise; follow-up care with doctors and symptom monitoring are all important aspects of caring for cancer survivors.
